New On The Blinking Line Journal: This Is Not an Appealing Woman But a Treacherous Menace

This 1940 poster uses the same technique of featuring the heavily made-up, cigarette-smoking woman as a venereal disease carrier. Appealing to the soldier’s interest in the eye-catching woman, the headline playfully warns “She may be. . . a bag of TROUBLE.” The contrasts in color, font size, and capitalization draw the viewer’s attention to the word “trouble” in an attempt to create an association between the word and the image. Below the warning, the inclusion of the words “syphilis-gonorrhea” further suggest to the viewer that this is not an appealing woman but a treacherous menace.

New On The Blinking Line Journal: Cupcakes are being offered as a reward

Cupcakes are being offered as a reward for the safe return of a stolen award-winning scarecrow of a nun. The “Cupcake, Vicar?” scarecrow, or “Sister Mary”, won second prize in the scarecrow contest held in Caythorpe, Nottinghamshire, on Saturday.
It is believed the scarecrow was taken from outside creator Julia Cons’ house on Monday night. “She caused great mirth among unsuspecting passers-by who tended to stop and come back for a second look,” said Ms Cons.
